Opposition statement on Leone Bagnall

Posted|May 2, 2017

Charlottetown –Opposition Leader Jamie Fox today issued the following statement on the passing
of Leone Bagnall:

“I was saddened
to learn of the passing of Mrs. Leone Bagnall, an outstanding Islander and a
dedicated public servant. A former educator, Mrs. Bagnall served as the MLA for
1st Queens from 1979 to 1993. During that time Mrs. Bagnall was a
pioneering figure, becoming the first female Progressive Conservative Cabinet
Minister on the Island, the first female Minister Responsible for the Status of
Women, and served as the first female Opposition Leader from 1986-1993.

Mrs. Bagnall
always brought class and dignity to her work and was a tireless advocate on
behalf of her constituents.

On behalf of
our PC Caucus and the entire PC Party I wish to extend deepest condolences to
the family and friends of Mrs.Bagnall. She will be missed,” said Fox.

A rebranded appointment process announced for agencies, boards and commissions bears a striking resemblance to the previous process in place for the last eight years, contends the Official Opposition. see more
